you’re working. We’ll assume
you’ve got SonicCell in Performance mode—
•
using SonicCell’s PRST 01
Seq: Template performance to start with.
you’ve connected a MIDI controller to SonicCell’s MIDI IN jack—
•
and that
you’ve turned on SonicCell’s USB-MIDI Thru parameter, as described in
the
Using SonicCell with a DAW
